While he played this on the show most of the time, Fender Telecasters were his primary guitar when recording and playing with his band, The Buckaroos.
It’s amazing how much he influenced much of the Country music you hear today...
Growing up seeing him on Hee Haw (and not having much interest in that style of music), you get blind to the contributions of musicians.
Hee Haw was a variety comedy show, so you didn’t get to see the full effect of their range and capabilities a lot of the time.
But this article give a good synopsis of Buck’s career outside the show that made him famous. Of course, having 21 #1 Country hits also helps!
Hope you have a great day!
Peace~
